Weekend parking scarce at Blaisdell

A full weekend at Neal S. Blaisdell Center could cause problems with traffic and parking, and the city advises residents to prepare accordingly.

Blaisdell is hosting the Islandwide Christmas Crafts & Food Expo and the 2002 Dragon Tales Live performances today through Sunday.

Patrons are advised to arrive early or seek alternative parking in lots on Ward Avenue and Kapi'olani Boulevard.
